Comparison between the Civil Disobedience Movement and Non-Cooperation Movement:
There were certain aspects in which the Civil Disobedience Movement differed from the Non-Cooperation Movement. These comparisons are as follows:
The stated objective of the Civil Disobedience Movement was complete independence and not vaguely-worded Swaraj.
Civil Disobedience Movement had an objective ofPurna Swaraj. The Purna Swaraj Demand was made in the Lahore session of congress by J.L.Nehru in 1929. Hence statement A is Correct.
The methods involved a violation of the law from the very beginning and not just non-cooperation with foreign rule.
There was a decline in forms of protests involving the intelligentsia, such as lawyers giving up the practice, students giving up government schools to join national schools and colleges.
Muslim participation was nowhere near that in the Non-Cooperation Movement level. Hence statement B is Incorrect.
No major labour upsurge coincided with the movement.
The massive participation of peasants and business groups compensated for the decline of other features.
The number of those imprisoned was about three times more this time.
Congress was organizationally stronger.
